"The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 3.5.13.1 of the Trinity Desktop Environment. The Trinity Desktop Environment is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model, and is free/libre software." Not the first time we mention TDE, but it's basically the continuation of KDE 3.x. There's a market for this.

I didn't know activities could be disabled, I know you can get rid of plasma menu with a third party tool, If there is a way excuse my ignorance.

Nepomuk can be dissabled, sure, but you are limited to not use the applications that depend on it, cause as soon you start one you will have conflits or Nepomuk will be started automaticly, and since the use of Nepomuk is a trend in KDE applications it makes it more difficult to get rid of it.

Yeah those things can be annoying, I wish there was a way to remove those components completely.

I don't disable activities completely, I'm not aware also if there's a way to do that, but if someone know please let me know.

What I do is, I disable Nepomuk and then I remove the activity icon in the taskbar, then after that I ignore activities completely, but it's still there.

I also have a minimal install of KDE, that is, I install kdebase which provides the plasma shell, konqueror, dolphin, then after that I install amarok, phonon-vlc, etc.
